The second farm tour of the summer is being hosted at Millview Farm, located north of Steinbach Manitoba. The family run farm has been a certified organic producer since 2017 and grows a diverse selection of crops. On the farm, you can find oat, hemp, wheat, sunflowers, and alfalfa.
The tour will begin at Millview Farm and move to the Mennonite Heritage Village for lunch and a tour of their equipment.
Feel free to bring a lawn chair with you for the day!
